Robotics & Autonomous Systems

Hands on, Real World

The humans might not be in charge—but you can be. By pursuing Robotics & Autonomous Systems, you’ll have a powerhouse of technical know-how on your side as you explore exciting machine learning applications for medicine, healthcare, product design and more. What’s more, with major funding, including a $4.4 million grant from the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, you’ll be at the leading edge of hands-on robotics learning in our new Robotics and Autonomous Systems Teaching and Innovation Center (RASTIC).
